WATCH: Richie Spills On ‘The Bach’ Pad, Judging Girls & Bachie Privileges

Alright people, ‘The Bachelor‘ starts TOMORROW.

It’s the moment you, Osher, Richie, and all of us who like to gossip about good-looking strangers (a.k.a. every single human spanning the entire surface area of this entire planet) have been waiting for.

To whet your appetite (and to remind you that the show starts TOMORROW, that’s Wednesday, 7:30 in the evening), Osher and Richie took part in a Facebook Q&A to answer all your burning questions. Here’s some of the juicier tidbits:

Q: What’s the Bach pad like this year? (16:43)

“Amazing,” said Richie. “Three pools. I’ve got my own Bach Lake.”

Please, let no one actually call it ‘Bach Lake’.

He continued: “The bedroom in the Bach house was MASSIVE, and it had this huge window that overlooked Bach Lake [stop this] and all these gum trees were just lit up all these different colours. It was just one of the most impressive views to go to bed with, simply amazing.”

The pools, if you were wondering, include a lap pool and a plunge pool, and because they’re only 0.01% chlorinated, they’re basically freshwater. The estate also includes a spa, a fully-equipped gym, and a man cave complete with a $250,000 perspex snooker table, of which there are apparently only four in Australia.

“If you have a quarter of a million bucks to spend on a snooker table – well done,” said Osher, who clarified that he was “being nice” because the owner was still renting them the property. Fair point.

Q: Are you worried that when watching the show that you’ll see a different side to the ladies and second-guess the decisions you made during the rose ceremony? (19:16)


“I certainly see different sides to all the girls,”
said Richie. “On a single date they’re certainly on their best behaviour. On a group date you get a little bit of a different insight. You can see the girls acting a lot differently, it kinda gives you a different perspective. I wish the producers would tell me what would happen at a cocktail party. I’m immersed in a conversation with a lady and I know there’s so much happening around me but I’m so focused I just miss everything, and I know I leave some conversations and I know something happened and they just don’t tell me a thing.”

In conclusion: Richie’s 100% watching himself ~find love~ this season (on the telly!), but he doesn’t think it’s going to change his decision.


Q: Do you get embarrassed kissing on camera? (23:43)

tl;dr Nahhhhhh. He has a helicopter and beautiful women, which kind of negates the whole ‘nerves thing’.


Q: Do you play Pokémon Go?
No, he does not play Pokémon Go. WTF.

Q: How did the fam take it?

They were apparently heaps chill and told Richie to “follow his heart”. But – and this is the intriguing part here – Richie also mentioned that one of his ‘Bachie privileges’ is having limited access to his mobile phone, unlike the contestants who are locked away from the world to gain max emotions for entertaining television.
